AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Delysia
Chocolatier got a sweet surprise this Valentine’s Day, when the
International Chocolate Salon named the Austin-based artisan chocolate
company to their list of Best
Chocolatiers and Confectioners in America. Recipients of the
six-star rating are based on the combined number of Gold and Silver
medals awarded by TasteTV
Chocolate Salons. This is Delysia Chocolatier’s second
consecutive year of being named to the International Chocolate
Salon’s prestigious list.

“There are no words to describe how amazing it feels to be among the
best in the country,” said Delysia’s proprietor and chocolatier, Nicole
Patel. “Being once again recognized by the International Chocolate Salon
is such a huge honor. It’s humbling. I know competition was fierce this
year and I’m ecstatic to have come out on top.”

Delysia was one of only ten chocolatiers to receive the six-star rating.
This Best Chocolatiers & Confectioners award recognizes the artisan
company’s achievements in the Bridal
category (Gold medals for solid chocolate cowboy boots, chocolate menus,
and two-piece custom salted caramel and orange truffles); Bars
competition (Silver medals for Salt Lick Dry Rub bark and pecan-cayenne
bark); and Top
Truffle Artistry (Gold medal for the jalapeno-tequila truffle).
Delysia is the only Texas-based chocolate company to receive the
six-star rating.

Last year, Delysia received a four-star rating, which placed the company
in the top 50. The International Chocolate Salon entrants, presented by
TasteTV and Chocolate Television, were judged during Salons in San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and standalone Chocolate Salon Award
Competitions.
